This Year’s Most Anticipated New Music

Musicians Tegan Quin (L) and Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara at the 98.7FM Penthouse Party at The Historic Hollywood Tower in Hollywood, Calif. on Dec. 12, 2012.

2013 is going to be a stellar year for anyone who loves music. Kanye West, Daft Punk, Adele and U2 are all rumored to be putting out new albums in the next 12 months. Fleetwood Mac is going on tour and—who knows—maybe they will head back into the studio. And The Breeders are rehearsing for the 20th Anniversary Last Splash Tour.As long as we are wishful thinking, perhaps 2013 will be the year that Vampire Weekend finally releases a new album. (After all, they did play a new song on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in October.) Perhaps British act Savages will finally put out a full-length. Maybe the Rolling Stones will even headline the Coachella Music Festival….

While it’s easy to speculate about what could happen in the new year, here are 11 albums we know we can get excited about.

Noteworthy omission: the best album of 2013 will be Pedestrian Verse by Scottish indie-rockers Frightened Rabbit. I'm calling it right now. This band has everything going for it--musicianship, lyrics, unique vocals. We tasted a bit of the album on their "State Hospital EP" this year--superb on every level. It is a tragedy that they have not exploded into the ranks of the greatest bands of all time yet. Perhaps there's just a bit too much explicit language & too thick of an accent. SO AMAZING!!!

What a crock of payola... Let me guess, this is about half a dozen A&R/publicist "favorites" distributed through Time Warner + some acts no one even remembers (Tegan and Sara?) or whose recent doings barely qualify as news (MBV have been teasing another album, Axl Rose-style, for about 20 years now). What a shoddy, corporate, uninteresting list

I could not see anyone making a list worst than this one. I'm reading this and I say to myself "....really...?" Half of this is crap from the 90's that should be left in the 90's. You have a list of "good music comming out in 2013" and you have Arcade Fire on there.... kind of a contradiction. Why weren't The Black Keys mentioned? One of the best bands out there, another one is Wolfmother - a million times better than any band on this list. If anyone listens to any of this stuff mentioned on the list, i'm almost willing to bet they live in an appartment by themselves with at least four cats.

I'm sorry but this list is terrible. How can any writer proclaim these albums as "most anticipated" if factual statistics would indicate most people have never heard of a majority of the bands on the list. Whatever hipster Time magazine unfortunately paid to write this crap should really do some homework as opposed to flipping through their personal iPod.

Waste of an article, there are real writers and journalists who could use a job I'm sure.

I have a really good recommendation of a website I just found called Traders Superstore, just do a search for them he should be able to find them. I recommend these guys because there course material is top-notch and their support is the best I've ever seen on the Internet. These guys take seriously teaching people how to trade and I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone interested in learning to trade for themselves, it really is a very lucrative business.

you're entitled to your opinion but unfortunantly you're wrong. Listen to any of the Black Keys early stuff. They've always been amazing. Playing little bars and rocking the shit out of the place leaving people blown away.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81h0F-14QA0 check that out, it was before anyone knew who they were.
